One-to-one Appointments
Western grads and postdocs can book free 50-minute in-person appointments with a writing advisor.
Our writing advisors will review any academic writing, in any genre, across the disciplines. You can bring your thesis, research proposal, scholarship application, or manuscript. We will also help with CVs, resumes, personal statements, applications, and more. Our writing advisors will provide useful and informed feedback whatever your stage in the writing process. Keep in mind, we are not an editing service. Our goal is to help you become a better writer and communicator.
*If you require an online appointment, first book an in-person appointment following the instuctions below. Then submit the Zoom Appointment Request Form that you will receive in your confirmation email.
To book your APPOINTMENT:
- Login to Western Connect
- Choose Appointments on your dashboard
- Choose Writing Support Centre and then Book by Appointment Type
- Search for an appointment by Type and Availability and book your appointment.
- Cancellations: If for any reason you are unable to attend your appointment, please be considerate and cancel your appointment from Western Connect so another grad student or postdoc can make use of your appointment time. Students who fail to attend their appointment are listed as a No-Show, which can limit future access to our services.
- Due to demand for our one-to-one appointments students are limited to booking one appointment at a time. You are able to book your next appointment once you have attended your currently booked session.
- If you do not see an open appointment we are fully booked. Check back for cancellations or book ahead. If you cannot find an open appointment time please let us know!
- If you have comments or suggestions, we encourage you to fill out our Writing Support Centre Appointment Survey. Let us know how we are doing. Thanks!
